What do we need to pass English? Resilience!!!

Comment 13: What do we need to pass English? Resilience!!!

In my opinion, English isn´t such a hard subject. I like English, because it is a language that i want to master more or less. It´s true that if you don´t show interest or don´t do well at languages, this can become a hard subject, and even become a problem. To pass the subject it´s essential to pay attention in class, if you listen to what the teacher says, you will solve many questions that you had. Other important fact is doing homework, because like in other subjects, practising is essential, and if you don´t do homework, you won´t learn the grammar.
Regarding the writing and listening skills, if you don´t do these exercises you won´t become competent to write and understand later in exams.
In summary, I think you should start trying to master the grammar we´ve seen up to now, and then, when you understand and recognize all the tenses and types of sentences, try to improve your writing and listening. If you don´t improve quickly, don´t worry, continue working hard, and you´ll see the result.

Thanking a friend for the advice he gave you

Wr-05: Thanking a friend for the advice he gave you

Hi Jose!

I´m writting this to thank you for helping me the other day. As you know, I couldn´t do well at triple jumping so the first time I tried, I only could jump 6,7 metres. I felt very dissapointed, because I wanted to do well, and I found it very difficult. So I told you about the problem and asked you for help. You told me that when I was getting to the line that shows where must we jump from, I used to change the foot that I was running with, to jump with the right one. So instead of doing that, I should start running with the left foot.

I tried to follow your advice, and you were right! In that attempt I could jump up to 7,6 metres. And in the last attempt I jumped 8,4 metres! About 2 metres more! That´s amazing! Now I find it quite easy, and I feel very happy. I´m very grateful to you, so if you have any problem, don´t hesitate to ask me.

Thank you very much!

David 

 

Beware of online frauds

 Comment 1: Beware of online frauds

Nowadays, we can do most things on the Internet, from posting pictures on social network, to buying things or even work. But you must be careful, because it´s very easy to be cheated. At the time of shopping on the Internet you must check some things, here I´ll leave some tips to prevent being cheated:
1º- Check if the webpage is the real one. Some people copy official webs so that is very difficult to differentiate the official site from the copy. One way to prevent this is looking at rhe URL, if it is safe, you are in the real page, but if it isn,t you are on the fake.
2º- If you are going to buy on webs like Aliexpress or Ebay, always check the opinions of the product you are going to buy, if it has many bad opinions, you shouldn´t buy it, because probably it isn´t the product that is in the photos or it is a fraud.
3º- Avoid buying on strange pages. Sometimes, you find an amazing offer that discount a lot of money from the product, but you must be careful with this, if it is a safe page buy it, it will be safe, but if you don´t know the page you should investigate about it first, and then, decide if buying it or not.
Using these tips, you won´t have any problems buying things on Internet, and you will be able to buy anything with total security.

Advices for my fellow students

Fifth Quality Comment: Advices for my fellow students

Last year, I was in 2ºESO, and I thought that 3ºESO was going to be harder. Now that I´m here, in 3ºESO, I have noticed that not really. This can happen to 2ºESO student,too, so I´m going to tell them how I´ve spent the year and some tips to make the way easier.
First you have to know that 3ºESO isn´t harder than 2ºESO, it is more demanding. Obviously, you are going to study more things, and you´ll have more texts to study, but most of the things you have to study you already know because you have studied them last year. Other things are completely new, but you don´t have to worry, because these are a few things, and probably if you work hard, you´ll adapt and learn them soon. Finally subjects and teachers are practically the same, so you already know what the teacher is like and what you are going to study.
Talking about adverts, I can´t tell you many things, but I can say that you should always do your homework, because if one time you don´t have too much time to study, you will have an idea of what the unit is about, because you have done the exercises. Obviously they affect the final marks too, so if you can improve your marks doing them, Why don´t you do them? Another piece of advice is that you can try other ways to study, this year I have studied doing summaries of all the units, so I can study easier. If you don´t like this way, you can try others like doing outlines of the units. Finally I want to tell you that you shouldn´t worry about the difficulty, because if you didn´t have got any problems in 2ºESO, you won´t probably have them here either, so don´t worry and enjoy the summer, because next year, you´re going to work a bit harder.

-A: Hi David! How are you spending Christmas!

-D: I´m having a great time! I don´t have to think about doing homework or studying.

-A: Are you sure? I think you should study a bit everyday.

-D: Yeah, maybe you´re right, but I want to relax from the first term.

-A: I know, but if I were you, I would study one hour everyday and the hours left you can do other things.

-D: You´re right. Can you give some advice to organise my time?

-A: Of course! First, don´t keep your things untidy, if you organise them you will spend less time searching for a thing you need. Afterwards, you have to do the important things first, like studying for the entry tests or do homework, and after that, do the less important things, like studying for other things.

-D: Ok, thank you! Another piece of advice?

-A: Yes, I have another piece of advice, you should read a book, because it´s a very good way to spend time and teaches you a lot of things.

-D: Ok, thank you a lot Antonio! See you tomorrow!

 

Screen overuse

Comment 13: Screen overuse

We live in a world with screens everywhere. All the people have at least one screen in their houses, and they spend a lot of time watching at it. It can be a good way to spend the time or relax from school or work, but sometimes, it can be bad for your health. When you spend a lot of time watching at a screen, your eyes blink less than normal, and with this we can get ocular dryness. This illness affects especially young people, because they´re the ones that spend more time looking at a screen, so they will be more informed of what can happen to them. It´s good to spend time with ITC devices, but you don´t have to forget what can happen to you, and you must be careful with your health and you shouldn´t spend too much time looking at a screen.
